WASHINGTON — (Video report below) — A wounded Veteran and single father of three suffered burns when he bravely crawled back into a truck fire to save two soldiers who eventually died.
The Veteran’s mother is now selling a letter she received from President Obama to help pay for his healthcare costs. David McKimmey is likely to lose his leg, the Washington Examiner reported.
From Fox News: “[The mother] was forced to sell a handwritten letter from President Obama in order to cover her son’s medical costs because the VA failed to do so.
The letter from Obama written in 2009 promised the family of veteran David McKimmey to do “everything we can over the next four years to support your family.”
McKimmey was awarded the Bronze Star with Valor for his heroic acts. The letter will go up for auction, the family says.
